Hou Su appeared deep in thought, when suddenly, Chen Bi’s father said, "Are you, by chance... the owner of Juyuan Restaurant?"
The Chen family was originally wealthy, and if not for this disaster, they could have continued to prosper. Chen Bi’s father was the main husband and had accompanied his late wife to important occasions, where he had the fortune to et Hou Su once.
As soon as Chen Bi’s father spoke, everyone around turned their gaze towards Hou Su.
The owner of Juyuan Restaurant?
Juyuan Restaurant is the largest inn in Wei City, it was very famous before, and how could its owner have fallen to such a state?
It should be noted that those with power and influence, or those who were wealthy, all went to Doctor Sun.
It is said that Doctor Sun’s dical skill is excellent and can save lives, so since the outbreak of the epidemic, all those prominent figures have gathered around Doctor Sun.
Soone then said, "Juyuan Restaurant? I rember now! After the earthquake, it was the owner of Juyuan Restaurant who provided food for us, he’s a benevolent person too!"
Imdiately, those patients who hadn’t fully recovered began to bow to Hou Su. Hou Su quickly waved his hand, "Hou only did what he could."
This incident caught Dong Huiying’s attention, and she walked over to Hou Su. "How are you feeling, any better?"
Hou Su quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Doctor, for saving my life. Hou Su will always rember it!" Dong Huiying smiled, "No need to rember it, just focus on recovering."
Afterward, everyone held their bowls and drank the porridge. This small area no longer felt as depressingly lifeless as before.
This was thanks to Dong Huiying. People looked at the young lady, knowing in their hearts that as long as she was there, their lives were secure. The mysterious healer’s abilities far surpassed those of Doctor Sun, who was exaggeratedly praised in the city.
Also on this night, a massive convoy of carriages arrived here.
The leader wore red, riding on horseback.
He gazed distantly at Wei City and sighed deeply.
These days have indeed been exhausting, as Shujun mobilized plenty of food and resources from various places; for example, this ti, he brought enough provisions for a hundred cartloads, and more would be sent in succession.
He looked at the disaster victims outside the city and ordered his n to distribute the food, while also inquiring about the whereabouts of his wife, learning she was in the city. Not delaying, he left so n to guard the provisions and took two people with him to the city gates.
But the gate was tightly closed, guarded by soldiers, prohibiting anyone from entering. Shujun frowned, then chose an inconspicuous spot with his two attendants and climbed over the wall into the city.
As Shujun entered the city, soone reported to the City Lord of Wei City: "So people arrived outside, bringing many carriages filled with food. They distributed the food to the disaster victims outside, and the leader, a man, wanted to enter the city but was stopped outside by our n."
The City Lord, a woman in her thirties, sighed deeply upon hearing this. "The reason for not allowing people in is to prevent the spread of the epidemic outside. The situation in Wei City is really bleak right now, how is the situation with Doctor Sun? Has she agreed?"
The subordinate shook his head, "Sir, we don’t know what Doctor Sun is thinking. Bestowing this good deed upon the people is an imnsely virtuous act, yet she is unwilling. Moreover, she has requested an exorbitant price, demanding a hundred taels of gold for each life saved. If one can’t afford it, she disregards the life or death of others."
